Garlic Mandi Rates – July 27, 2025:

Where Garlic Prices Are Rising and Falling

• Top performing mandis:

  • Tanda Urmur (Punjab) set the national high with ₹12,000/quintal, followed closely by Azadpur (Delhi) at ₹11,000.

  • Kota, Sriganganagar, and Khanna also recorded strong prices ranging between ₹7200 and ₹8000.

• Weaker markets:

  • Shahabad (Haryana) and Kalapipal (MP) saw prices stuck around ₹2000–₹5000.

  • These lower rates are linked to oversupply and inconsistent quality.

Expert Insights – Why the Price Gap?

• Quality Drives Prices: Premium dried garlic with clean grading is fetching top rates in metro markets.
• Regional Supply Variation: States like MP and Haryana are seeing high arrivals of mid/low-grade garlic, pulling prices down.
• Festive Demand: With August festivals approaching, high-quality garlic is in demand in big consumption centers.

Advice for Garlic Farmers:

• Have high-grade garlic (dried, sorted)? Target large mandis like Delhi’s Azadpur or Punjab’s Tanda Urmur where current demand justifies the transport costs.
• Have average or raw garlic? Avoid selling immediately in low-rate mandis (under ₹4000). If possible, store the stock and wait 10–15 days for rates to rise further.
• Storage Available? Use it wisely. Prices are likely to go up as festival orders pick up and market supply tightens.

Conclusion: Garlic prices are showing extreme fluctuations depending on location and quality. Farmers with good produce can earn windfall profits in premium markets, while others may benefit from holding off.

Stay updated with daily mandi rates and sell only when your garlic gets the price it deserves. Timing, quality, and location that’s the success formula for garlic in July–August 2025.
